Festive knick knacks, carollers and strings of sparkling lights… these are the best Christmas events and activities in Toronto

Everyone knows there are two types of Christmas shoppers out there. There’s the ones who had all of their presents bought and wrapped in like, October. And then there’s the people who panic shop a few days before Christmas, buying a $400 doughnut maker instead of more practical presents for their friends and fam. If you’re the latter (and tbh, we are too), #the6ix has a million and one festive spots to help you check everyone off of your shopping list… and maybe a little something for yourself. From Xmas markets to holiday fairs, these are the best holiday events in Toronto to get your Christmas on.
